I have found other posts looking to do this, but have not found an answer yet.
I am upgrading from 1.2.6 to 1.3.7
I have decided to do a fresh install, not only for the usual reasons. I am also hoping to cleanse my cart of some quirks, no doubt caused by newbie mistakes. Because of this I really want to rebuild from the ground up, bringing forward only data.
The thing I cannot quite figure out is how to compare my old 1.2.6 database to a freshly installed 1.3.7 database and then rid it of extra tables and fields added through cart mods.
I have done a fresh install of 1.3.7.
Exported both databases and have them available as .sql and text files.
Comparing the files looks like a pretty daunting task given my level of knowledge. I'm willing to do it, but I'm not so sure that I'm capable.
If I import the 1.2.6 over my fresh 1.3.7 database, and then upgrade the database, the data seems to import alright. But, that still leaves bogus tables and fields related to mods that I installed hanging around in my database.
How can I identify the differences? I figure that if I can identify the differences I can rid the file of them before importing it over my fresh 1.3.7 database.
Or is this the million dollar question???
Thanks!
